"Option #2, $17.95 (minimum 2 people)"
Me: Honey, let's get this pre-set meal. It has everything we usually order anyway.
BF: Where? Let me see.
Me: Here, on the left side of the menu.
BF: Uh huh.
Me: It has potstickers, which you like. Then a soup dish, Honey Walnut Prawns, Princess Chicken and steamed rice. See, that should be enough for the two of us.
BF: And it's only $17.95?
Me: That's what it looks like to me.
BF: Okay, but ask if you can substitute steam rice for chicken chow mein.
Me: Okie dokie.
BF: Ever since you went back to school, you've been looking for cheap deals everywhere.
Me: Me so smart.
....
An hour later, after consuming all the food set out in front of us, the bill arrives and The Boy is looking at it strangely.
Me: What's wrong? Did they make a mistake with the bill?
BF: I don't know why the total is $54....
Me: What?! Let me see.
BF: I thought the meal was only $17.95.
Me: HA HA HA. We're such dum dums.
BF: Huh?
Me: It's $17.95 PER PERSON, minimum requirement of two people.
BF: Ohhhhh. Well, that makes more since because this is an upscale tourist trap.
Me: I was kinda wondering why they offered something for so cheap. Oh well. Lesson learned.
....
Cost of this dum dum moment: $61.00 for lunch for two and a blow to both our egos.
